Thank You
“My Mom was in the skilled rehab unit at Langdon Place of Keene after a hospitalization, she needed to get her strength back.
All of the staff on the unit were amazing and the facility is clean and comforting. The nurses and LNAs were very approachable and answered any questions we had. They were always willing and happy to assist my Mom and alter her care to better suit her needs and preferences. She was even able to get her hair cut and styled while there! My Mom loved the food, it was always delicious and varied and the desserts were exceptional! The therapy staff took their time with my Mom and worked to get her strength back.
We were so pleased with her stay that when she needed to return to rehab after a fall we requested Langdon Place of Keene. We had the same experience the second time. One of the great things is the consistency of the staff, so many of them have been at Langdon Place for years and continuity of care is so important. When it came time to make the decision for memory care for my Mom we chose Langdon Place of Keene.”
High praise
Everyone at Langdon has been just great, I had very good care and CARING as well. I give high praise to the rehab team, if not for them I wouldn't be WALKING out!

A Recent Rehabilitation Patient Testimonial
"I had a very pleasant experience at Langdon. Staff was attentive; facility was clean and neat! "- Joanne M

-Gerald H.
Everything was fantastic!
I thought everything was fantastic! Everyone did everything they could to try to help. I would recommend to anybody. I was against this from the start (I wanted home) but I'm glad I came.
-Roland R.
Dedicated, caring staff
My parents retired to their home region of Northern New England, and have been happy to be at Langdon Place in their later years. The excellent care they receive from its dedicated staff has seen them through a number of medical crises. That is all to the good for them, and is equally important for me and my siblings. Our family is close in heart but each of us children live far away in other regions of the country. And while we take turns visiting the folks throughout the year , it is a great comfort for us to know that they are receiving high quality, friendly care while we are back at our own homes. I've come to personally know many among the Langdon staff and enjoy the close working relationship I have with them regarding my parents' care, especially since I hold their medical powers of attorney. The staff does a wonderful job keeping me informed about their needs and care decisions in a way that shows they truly care for my parents as people, not just patients.
-Duncan M.

10 out of 10!
If I had to rate Langdon Place on a scale of 1-10, I would have to say 10. The staff are considerate and kind. The furnishings are homelike. The grass and scrubs are manicured and beautiful. The care is very similar to hospital care. Medication is professionally dispensed. The main care is occupational and physical therapy. The therapists are very knowledgeable of their trade and can get the patients back on their feet even better than they were before.
-Ardis A.
Recent assisted living respite testimonial:
"It is with mixed emotions that I am departing Langdon Place to go home to my own apartment in Bellows Falls, VT. The staff was always very kind, thoughtful, willing to listen and anticipate my needs and those of other residents. It has been a pleasure to spend the last several weeks with both the residents and staff who were happy to be here and a pleasure to be around. I was impressed with the activity staff and the amenities such as the shopping trips and the lunch bunch. If and when the time comes I will be happy to say, I am back." - Hazel G

Exceptional care
Our father was a resident at Langdon Place for four months with several health issues. Langdon Places’ staff was incredibly caring and knowledgeable, helping our family navigate uncertain times during the pandemic and keeping us informed while he was transported back and forth to the hospital. There are scheduled weekly calls, emails and personal phone calls with any changes to the facility. While we weren’t able to see him in person, the staff would place him in front of a window so we could see him and talk on the phone and on his birthday, a staff member came out and met us in the parking lot to bring his gifts to him. The care he received from nursing to rehab was exceptional, and we’ll be forever grateful for his time at Langdon Place."
- Paula S.

5 Star Google Review
My husband came here after a hospitalization, and we were very happy with the care he received. He did not always like having a roommate, but Langdon tried their best to find someone compatible. The concern and care of all staff was fantastic. And the food is quite good.
- E. F.
My first choice for rehab
I have had 3 short stays at Langdon Place for rehab. The rehab staff was awesome, kind and patient with me. They made the exercises fun! The nursing staff was equally as awesome. Most remembered me from my previous stays and it was like coming home again. This was always my first choice for rehab and I would recommend it to everyone for whatever your needs are.
- C.G.
I am grateful
I am grateful to all staff members for my stay. I was in bad shape and needed care. I received care from dedicated nursing staff and aides, training from occupational therapy and physical therapists, and good advice. It was an opportunity to learn a lot.
